Redesign [url removed, login to view]

I am developing a web site that hopes nothing short to update the concept of how humorous web collected and shared. You can think of it as a 'bank of funny stuff' on the web. The site is called [url removed, login to view] and we are hoping that this idea will really go somewhere!

Jokefire is a solid concept that is gelling into a very real web app that is very easy to use. It’s also a powerful idea that will encourage people to share material that they consider funny thereby dragging joke and humor sites kicking and screaming into the 21st century. With very few exceptions there are NO modern web apps featuring content purporting to be funny. A simple google search will reveal that the “joke” website has never made it out of the 90s from a design and usability standpoint. And certainly none that feature capabilities that connect people in the ways that other modern social networking sites take for granted. My feeling is that it’s truly unique in the landscape of ideas on the web.

The code is being developed and progress is being made. In a perfect would be much further along than we are. And the reason I am coming here to Freelancer is because the project has been struggling from a design perspective.

This is the design of the homepage as it stands right now:

[url removed, login to view]

It's not a bad design, honestly, but my problem with it is that it is looking very dated and not in keeping with modern web design principles.

I had a web designer friend offer her analysis on how the page could be improved:

"...design-wise, the site already looks dated because of the gradient elixir they have going on. Above anything else, the concept of storytelling is what really has to shine with this site. The words need to take front stage because that’s the way to reach people.

Therefore, I suggest going with a much more stripped down site that focuses almost entirely on good typography and blockquotes to emphasize content. Let me give you a few examples of what I’m talking about:

[url removed, login to view]

[url removed, login to view]

[url removed, login to view]

[url removed, login to view]

[url removed, login to view]

[url removed, login to view]

BONUS: [url removed, login to view]"

I was able to check out the links and the type of design she points out are more of what I had in mind for the site. I especially agree with what she has to say about the 'design elixer' being out of date.

So what I am looking for is a deisgn mockup of the home page for [url removed, login to view] that I present above that takes into account the advice given by my designer friend. The php code for the site is being handled by another company, so you wouldn't have to worry about the code. All I am looking for is a sleek, stripped down, much more modern approach to this design objective. I want to start by having you design the one page and if it looks good enough I will negotiate a price to have you design the rest of the site.
